ThePirateBay Down in the US and NZ? Blame your ISP!

If you are not able to access The Pirate Bay, then it is very likely that your ISP has blocked access to the most resilient BitTorrent site on the planet.

According to the news floating on the web, torrent users are not able to open The Pirate Bay site and a “Timeout error” page appears when trying to access thepiratebay.org.

Is TPB Down For You?

News on the Twitter is that The Pirate Bay is down in the US and NZ. Here, in Asia, TPB loads fine. Also, Comcast ISP subscribers are unable to access The Pirate Bay, and the site continues to be down from the past two days. However, message broke in at Engadget that Comcast are not blocking the site, but users from several other ISPs around the world are affected.

If you are a Comcast ISP subscribers, and you are not able to access TPB, then something is terribly wrong, broken!

Go figure what’s going on with TBP.

On the other hand, while Net Neutrality is trying to gain ground among the internet users, this news comes in as a shocker. Many furious users claim that the problem is not with distributing torrent files for free, but does the ISP really have the authority to block sites? I’ll leave that for you to discuss.
